βWhat will happen if only one building made out [of] PE core is on fire and will kill 60 to 70 personsβ. Arconic, the company which made the combustible cladding installed on Grenfell Tower was warned of the risk of a building fire that could kill β60 to 70β people, a decade before the tragedy. Three of Arconicβs witnesses have refused to give evidence at the inquiry. Lead Counsel to the inquiry Richard Millett presented some of the documents and questions he would have covered had they attended.
